who are beating the odds
Kanye Taipari has made history in New Plymouth alternative education.
The 16-year-old is the only student to get NCEA Level 1. That got him to Witt where he is studying Construction Level 3.
When the Taranaki Daily News first caught up with Kanye in 2021 he had been kicked out of New Plymouth Boys’ High School, which, theoretically, ended his dream of becoming a builder.
To go to Witt he needed NCEA, which he couldn’t get at alternative education.
But, Kanye proved them wrong.
